Chicago Reader

When the terror proves to be all too real, Sophie and her crew fight back in the face of alt-right rallies and despair, and T Blockers forces us to question our ability to recognize monsters and oppressive regimes alike.

The character dynamics are low-key and honest in a way we rarely get in trans cinema of any genre.

a thoroughly enjoyable B-movie sci-fi which proves that Alice Maio Mackay is a pioneer of queer independent horror.

Rated: 4/5

T Blockers is nothing if not unapologetic. But so is Alice Maio Mackay, a real force of nature.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Threat

All in all, though, the film is gloriously well done with fast edits, moving field of vision, strong use of foreground and background in a frame, and good closeups with a cast that delivers the lines like they were not lines.

Rated: 8/10

An absolute delight. Walked away from this feeling the joy I felt after seeing John Waters for the first time.

Scary, brilliant film! Looks like a bunch of right wing Neo-Nazis are trying to downgrade this awesome movie.

sometimes, cute and stupid *are* enough. anyways, it's a decent film in some ways, but it kind of feels like this extended silent/ambient sequence near the climax was just a way to cover for them running out of script. it would be a pretty good watch if they finished it :/

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
